Huawei announced the world’s first Intelligent Optical Distribution Network (iODN) prototype. Huawei’s iODN offers multiple intelligence functions and enables operators to automatically locate and operate target optical fibers, paving the way for massive fiber to the home (FTTH) rollouts said the company.

“FTTx networks are now being deployed on a massive scale all over the globe and ODN is garnering more and more attention from operators worldwide. This new prototype, along with our expertise in end-to-end ODN delivery, including planning and engineering, will pave the way for massive fiber to the home rollouts,” said Wang Dexiang, director of Huawei’s ODN Service Department.

Huawei’s iODN prototype was announced at the P&T / Expo Comm China 2010 trade show in Beijing and will be exhibited at the Broadband World Forum 2010 in Paris.
